Yanchep · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Yanchep
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A growing number of people in Yanchep now speak a language other than English at home, rising to 8.5% in 2021. While this is an increase from previous years, the area remains far less linguistically diverse than the national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 8.5% of residents use another language at home, which is far below the Australian figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the fact that 85.1% speak only English, and the 0.8% who speak little or no English is lower than most other areas.
